Ski Apache Zip Line, Ruidoso, NM

This was an exciting day for us as we had been talking about it all summer.
We arrived around 8:00 AM for tickets, etc.  We watched a video, got suited up, and a quick lesson.  The rollers for the line were in out backpack.  

We rode the gondola up to the end of the line, then a 4 wheeler took us higher to the platform.  It was sunny, but dark clouds were in the distance.  Only 3 maybe 4 couples got to go. The others had to go back down the mountain.   We arrived at the first stop only to have to wait in cold little cabin while the storm blew over.  Instead of going on the next leg down, they took us back up to the top on a very bumpy truck ride.  So we did the longest leg again.  Weather coming in again.....they hurried us on to  the next leg. By that time, it was getting close to 2:00 PM., and we were hungry.   We decided to be shuttled down the rest of the way rather than wait for the weather to pass.   So we did not get to do the last leg, but did the first one twice.
